Offline programming
Radbend enables full accurate 3D-model simulation of the bending process, including advanced features such as automatic bend sequence calculation, automatic tool selection and automatic finger stop placement, offering simple programming and high productivity.
Highly automated
Radbend features high levels of automation. The system examines the part to be programmed and automatically determines a bending sequence taking into account part geometry and best machinery practice.
Data import
Radbend can import data in a range of 2D and 3D formats as well as having specific plug-in interfaces for well known 3D CAD systems.
Increase productivity
Once your part has been transferred into Radbend you will be able to:
Select the most appropriate machine tool and the appropriate tools to bend the part correctly
Provide you with consequences of your tool set up - expected radius, press depth etc.
Automatically position finger stops against every valid face requiring fingerstops.
Run a full 3D simulation of the bending process detecting any collisions and potential problems.
Automatically generate complete shopfloor documentation, including setup sheets.
Benefits include:
Reduce downtime through fast and reliable offline programming
Reduce lead times due to improved efficiency
Reduce the set up times of machine tool from the availability of manufacturing information
Fewer design errors, due to the 3D simulation contained within Radbend
Reducing costly manufacturing errors by making use of the collision checking
Machine Independent means that you can easily use Radbend on any of your pressbrake machine tools
Open up the press brake to a wider audience of employees
Accurate automatic unfolding, even with imported models
Increased production flexibility
Radbend can help you to reduce bottlenecks and costs, whilst increasing efficiency and productivity by enabling you to program and verify your bending operations offline as well as detecting any collisions with the tooling, finger stops and the machine tool itself.
